Outdoor photo under a decorated red and white tent canopy with a dusty ground. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair wears a large garland of red roses and white jasmine and smiles while walking. Around him men in white shirts and white dhotis with rudraksha malas gesture with raised hands, and one man on the left holds a video camera on his shoulder. Behind, a crowd of devotees, including women in colourful saris and children in school uniforms, watches. Scattered petals lie on the ground. The figure's outfit and long hair are consistent with the page's a person reference, though the identification is uncertain.
